This is planed. See http://bazaar.canonical.com/SubmitByMail

(and of course, Johns answer)

I think something like this should be built into bzr sooner or later. 
I my mind, The following commands
cd branch1
bzr submit /tmp/foo
cd ../branch2
bzr apply /tmp/foo

Should produce the exact same thing as
cd branch2
bzr merge ../branch1

But the first case is easier to mail or course :)
This makes people that can't put up a branch somewhere, still be first
class bzr citizens.
